It was a Heron kind of day ... All three of these showed up this afternoon at the local park / greenbelt near the house. Needless to say it was fun!

    that's awsome to have all 3 show up . I like the GBH best. maybe a bit of contrast on it would make it stand out more.
    good captures!clap.gif

    Nice series. The BCNH with the fish is especially nice.

    Great fishing of black crowned heron. I always love to see herons near the water. Thanks for sharing this nice stuff.

    How many photographers does it take to change a light bulb? 50. One to change the bulb, and forty-nine to say, "I could have done that better!"

    That's a trifecta. Cool thumb.gif Really love the GBH and the black crown with fish.

    #3 has that "Mom! Quit taking my picture!" look on his face. Or you just told him to clean his room.
    I think #4 would look good in a b/w or a sepia... and some sharpness on the toes. It looks apprehensive about getting in the water.
    I'm not a wildlife photographer, I just like to look. iloveyou.gif Nice pictures. Thanks for sharing!
